Robert Dorgan, 56, also known as Roberta Esposito, has been identified as the shooter in a tragic incident that unfolded during a high school ice hockey match in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. During the event, he fatally shot his ex-wife, Rhonda Dorgan, and their adult son, Aidan Dorgan, before turning the gun on himself.

The shooting also left two other individuals injured: the parents of Dorgan's ex-wife and a family friend. The situation escalated rapidly during what should have been a celebratory event, changing the course of many lives in a moment of violence. Police investigations are ongoing, but initial reports suggest that Dorgan did not have any prior convictions that would have raised red flags regarding his access to firearms.
